From a distance
The Moto G looks identical to the attractive Moto X. Get up close
And it still does. Though it's simply a plastic shell
It's rigid and attractively curved to make it look thinner than its 11.6mm
With a minimal bezel. Best of all
It's customisable too
There are more than 15 different cases you can snap on the back
And we're actually rather taken with the coloured ones we too

Nonexpandable memory
No 32 GB model for multimedia lovers
Sound quality from speaker
Mediocre camera (video stills)
Lack of LTE

Out of the box
The Moto G runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Leaving it ever so slightly behind the curve
As the Nexus line of Google devices (which
Confusingly
The Google-owned Motorola doesn't make) have been updated to Android 4.4 KitKat
Which adds tighter Google Now integration
Better multitasking and more. This in itself is only a minor issue
Motorola crafted a worthy follow-up to the first-generation handset. The Moto G is a solid handset that fits somewhere between entry-level and mid-range. The design is a bit more appealing than last year's phone, and the build quality of the device is mod...
Motorola has seemingly found success in the entry-level market, and it obviously shows with its Moto G smartphones. Before its introduction, owning a decent performing basic smartphone meant forking over $200 to pick up – so the feeling felt rewarding whe...
179.99 cost is extremely affordable for what it offers, Display is actually pretty good at reproducing colors accurately, Slight element of customization with its rear covers, Stock Android experience is simple & intuitive
Still no 4G LTE radio with this one, Video recording lacks continuous autofocus, Processor can't handle intensive operations, Larger size makes it tougher to operate with a single hand
After playing around with the new Moto G, there's no hiding who is the target audience that Motorola is trying to cater to with the phone. Sporting the same $179.99 outright price as before, we'll hand it to Motorola for keeping its cost very low and affo...

All in all, with the Nokia Lumia 630 and Motorola Moto G, we're looking at some of the best affordable handsets out there - both offer larger than its peers screen sizes, snappy performance with a quad-core chip inside on both, and decent cameras.insertAd...

Reasonably priced phones that actually perform great, Competitive rates and plans that should cover everyone's needs, Ability to change plans twice a month to meet your needs, WiFi calling works well, They offer a 30 day trial, so there isn'
No support for short codes or tethering may be an issue for some, Calling to only the 50 US states and Canada may be an issue for some, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions.
I think the Motorola Moto G with Republic Wireless service may hit the sweet spot for many people tired of paying high cell phone bills. The Moto G is a solid phone that performs really well, and the network in my area had less dead zones than T-Mobile an...
Sturdy build and ergonomic handling, Larger display than before, Stock Android and promised Android L update, 3G support on both SIMs, Good battery life
Buggy camera interface, Specs can't match the competition
The original Moto G was hailed as a game changer, and was responsible for shaping an entire market around the budget segment with its specs and features. However, we doubt that the new Moto G can carry forward that title, even though it's being sold at a...
Excellent cost/benefit ratio, Highquality, big, clear, and bright screen, Light and comfortable to carry around, Fast and agile, Many apps available, Updated operating system, Frontal camera for video calls
Mediocre camera, No MicroSD card support, No support for 4G LTE networks
The Motorola Moto G is an excellent phone for its price range, with a crisp and bright screen, and solid hardware.OA_show('zone_E');Its only problem is the mediocre camera: if you think a good camera is the most important feature in a smartphone, please c...

Although the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is a bit pricier than its 3G-only sibling, it still has one of the best displays in the budget arena, its processor makes operation enjoyably smooth and its rounded, compact body is both comfortable and attractive...
